[hr]

Abigail was at the head of the group that she had fallen in with, axe resting on her shoulder, staring out at the ruined fort they were supposed to go and clear out. Once upon a time it might have been halfway decent, as far as fortifications went, but it was just a mess now. She was no professional soldier or anything, but she could at least see how it was capable at one point. If it had only been the passage of time that wore away the fort, it would almost not be worth the time for someone like her. Anything wood was long rotted away, no gates, no doors, the works. Though, given their job, it was quite clear they had come to the right place even without the direction that the job listing provided to begin with.

The place festered with goblin sign, sharpened wooden stakes with animal skulls were easily visible, even from here. Though nothing humanoid, meaning no one else had been attacked by these goblins next, though it was clear they had settled in quite firmly at this point. Trash and debris scattered around as well, turning what might have once been a noble fort into almost a mockery of its former self. No doubt someone was rolling in their grave over the whole thing, but it meant she got paid by the end of this so, well, she considered it her good deed of the day clearing the goblins out with enthusiasm. 

The trip here had been quite uneventful, Abigail thought, as she swept their surroundings. Corinne was shy but cheerful after whatever Liliane had mixed for her, Abigail favoring the old fashioned way of weathering hangovers when she got in too deep. This time it had not been too bad, though right now they were mostly waiting since a request had been made for their party sneak thief to go poking around. At least Corinne had asked, from what she overheard, though whether or not the sneak thief was willing to go running off into a goblin infested fort to poke around or not alone was another matter entirely.

Abigail wasn't quite ready to go storming off alone, it would be stupid to, and she figured someone in the group would want to at least put together some plan of attack besides her go to plan, which was, of course, attack. Either way, she kept her axe shouldered, eyes scanning not just the fort but the surrounding fields as well. Never knew when an ambush might start, and she got to start cracking skulls early. Or splitting goblins apart, more accurately, but backswings happened sometimes.
